Of course not. Science has to do with the observation of the physical world using one or more of our five senses using tools that enhance those senses, like telescopes, for example. If a painting is hanging on a wall and a man says it is a beautiful picture, a woman says it is an ugly picture, and their little boy says, look it is a picture. The man and woman both gave valued judgments. The boy gave a scientific statement. Belief in Truth is quite compatible with a scientific investigation of that truth.

Believing a scientific theory as a fact would contradict belief in God. Believing a scientific fact is true does not contradict the Bible.
This is what makes a miracle a miracle. A miracle defies science. We would have to know through science that a man cannot walk on water for it to be a miracle.

Dear one - let me simply remind you of this:
Jesus said in Matthew 6:33-34 More than anything else, put God's work first and do what he wants. Then the other things will be yours as well. (Seek first His Kingdom and His righteousness.) Don't worry about tomorrow. It will take care of itself. You have enough to worry about today.
There are many men of science who believe in God - a gentleman speaking for his team's research into outerspace at NASA recently commented on his new found belief in Christ:
"We searched the Universe for the answers to life on this planet... we climbed the mountain of scientific discovery and experimentation - only to reach the summit, peer over the top and find thousands of theologians have been camped out on the other side for centuries!"
Also:
"If I had no other data than the early chapters of Genesis, some of the Psalms and other passages of Scripture, I would have arrived at essentially the same picture of the origin of the universe, as is indicated by the scientific data." Nobel Prize-winning physicist Arno Penzias (Big Bang Theorist)
Lastly - a minister named T.W. Hunt recently spoke here in my town and related a letter he received from a Harvard professor who had guided a research team many years in searching for proof of evolution. Their experiments - instead - disproved the possibility of evolution over and over. He wrote Dr. Hunt a letter beginning with, "You now have a lab FULL of new believing Christians!"
Honor God - fear nothing in this world. Serve Christ in all things and follow where He leads you dear one.
Peace.

There are no contradictions between God and science, but many contradictions between religion and science.

Hmmmm...well
According to science matter and energy is not created, yet the Bible believe that God created all things. If you can reconcile this, then you don't have a problem in believing both.
Good luck!

If the Bible is truth, then science and their assumptions about some things have to be wrong. Mainly about the origin of the world. If you believe in God, and evolution as our origin, then you cannot say you believe the Bible is the truth. You may believe in some sort of god, but not the God of the Bible.

You do not " believe " in science, but are convinced by the evidence. Other than that, you can believe in god as long as your ideology does not interfere with the workings of science.

That's really for you to decide, but I don't think so, since nobody [I mean NOBODY!!] knows the nature of god.
As long as you don't try to reconcile creationism and science - they REALLY don't mix! Creationism was created for the very purpose of undermining science.
You can't simultaneously believe that the Earth is 6,000 years old and believe in the scientific investigation of the world according to observable facts.

None whatsoever! God is
Science. There is no
differentiation. One cannot
be a scientist without knowing
that an Almighty hand designed and created it all
down to the smallest cell.

It depends.However, the science is not the only way of knowing.
The minimum to believe is John 3:16. : )
